Sleigh Bells

"Hyper Dark"

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Jul 19, 2016

We're still waiting on full details for Sleigh Bells' full-length follow-up to 2013's Bitter Rivals, but the two-piece is certainly upping the anticipation with the arrival of another new single.
 
"Hyper Dark" comes after "Champions of Unrestricted Beauty" and "Rule Number One," and it opens eerie and sparse. But between the sprinkles of airy synths and floating vocals, jabs of the duo's signature gritty guitar ring out. As the title implies, the hook plays back dark and creepy, featuring Alexis Krauss's croons of "I think we have a problem."
